Comments on: Game 65: Yankees at Athletics http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/06/10/game-65-yankees-at-athletics/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:16:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ML http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/06/10/game-65-yankees-at-athletics/comment-page-17/#comment-386982 ML Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:37:07 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/06/10/game-65-yankees-at-athletics/#comment-386982 Had to go to bed last night, just read Aaron's absurd comments. Aaron, I may disagree with you, but I won't stoop to your level. Apparently all "true Yankee fans" agree with you on everything. What a joke. Melky is OK, not terrible. But he's also not the All Star some people make him out to be. And his apparent refusal to listen to instruction and try to get better is frustrating. Doesn't mean Gardner will be Ty Cobb, but it does mean that we should see if some competition for playing time will improve Melky's focus. See, Aaron, that's what a rational argument looks like. You might want to try it sometime. Had to go to bed last night, just read Aaron’s absurd comments.
